Alrighty! Chapter 4!! I had to write this chapter for you guys! I'm hitting a little bit of writer's block, so if I take a while or this chapter is as boring as the last, blame it on my writer's block. T_T Okie-dokie, let's get on with the story, shall we?

Disclaimer: I own the plot, not the brilliance that is Sailor Moon.

***************************************************************************

Usagi walked quickly away from the arcade, wishing to God that her friends didn't see Usagi blush at Mamoru. (She left out that whole chunk of the story when telling her friends what happened)

Just then her communicator beeped and she opened it quickly, fearing another youma showed up.

"Usagi!! Youma, park, NOW!!!" Her worst assumptions were correct. Usagi quickly ducked into a nearby alley way and transformed into Tokyo's teenaged heroine, Sailor Moon. She jumped up on the building she was next to and made her way to the park.

Indeed there was a youma there stealing energy from innocent bystanders and scaring children. Sailor Moon would not stand for this.

"You there!" she yelled, causing the youma and its victims to turn toward the voice. "How dare you steal the energy belonging to these innocent people! It's unforgivable! In the name of the moon, I shall punish you!" (A/N: I know that sucked, but being me, who is an artist but has a low amount of creativity, that was as good as it got!)

The youma snickered and threw a bolt of power toward the heroine, who jumped out of the way before being attacked again. The other senshi tried to drive the attention away from Sailor Moon and on to them, but failed as the youma turned and tried to catch the girl itself.

"Hey!" Jupiter called. It turned to the thunder senshi just as she mustered up one of her attacks. The attack hit the monster head on, and the youma was sent flying back into a nearby tree.

"Now, Sailor Moon!" Sailor Venus exclaimed.

"Moon Tiara Action!!" the moon senshi threw her tiara toward the offending monster, but the monster dodged it and flew toward the crowd that was watching the battle.

Sailor Moon cursed and ran to the tree while the others defended the people. She pulled and yanked on the tiara, which was stuck in the trunk, but it didn't break free.

"Damnit!" she said aloud, and she pulled again. Before long, two strong arms wrapped around her and helped her yank the tiara free with ease. As it let free, the heroine stumbled back into the arms of the one and only Tuxedo Mask.

"Sailor Moon! It's weak spot is it's left arm!" Mercury cried, dodging another attack. The silent hero let Moon go and watched her as she dusted the youma. People cheered as the senshi jumped off in different directions, all headed home.

The five girls met at Rei's house for a battle de-briefing a while after the battle ended. They couldn't risk followers and decided to wait an hour before getting together.

-An hour and a half earlier on the communicator-

"Usagi?"

"Rei?"

"We've scheduled a meeting in an hour at my place, 'kay?"

"Alright. I'll meet you all there."

"Oh, and Usagi?"

"Yes?" Usagi whispered back.

"Try not to be late this time, okay?"

"Shut up, Rei!!" Usagi said, shutting off the communicator as Rei laughed.

She told Luna of the plan then began daydreaming of Tuxedo Mask, missing the feeling of his arms around her.

-Present time-

"You girls are getting better at dodging attacks. I'm proud of you," Luna stated.

"You were at the battle, Luna?" Makoto asked.

"Yes, I'm always at your battles. I need to make sure you are all fit to protect the princess once we find her."

At the mention of the princess, Usagi had a nagging feeling in her heart. She felt like she wanted to tell the girls -and Artemis- something, but what? She shrugged off the strange feeling and continued listening to her friends converse on the battle.

Usagi, on the way home from Rei's, stopped at the park to admired the sunset. The red and orange hues seemed to draw her in, but when she turned and noticed the moon, she was completely sucked in. She was filled with a longing she couldn't place her finger on and it drove her crazy. She had been getting feelings like this for a couple days now, but she just ignored them, passing them off as nothing.

"I didn't know the moon was so interesting to you, Odango," Usagi was instantly snapped out of her trance and turned toward the owner of the voice.

"Oh! Mamoru! You scared me!" she glanced at the moon once more before focusing on him.

"I see your ankle is better." he added, looking her over, not finding any imperfections on the girl's body.

"Oh, yeah. That wrap and aspirin really helped." she nervously laughed. He wondered for a minute how she healed so fast. Then he thought, I could've used a little bit of my healing powers on her…

"Thank you, Mamoru," she said again. She had said her thanks many times, but she couldn't think of anything else to say at the moment.

"S'okay, Usagi. It's not my fault you can't walk on your own two feet," He laughed. She joined him and soon they settled into a comfortable silence. Then, it hit her. He called her by her name.

"That's the first time you called me by my name…" she said softly. He nodded in response. She smiled at him and blushed a little. He smiled at her pink cheeks and couldn't help but think that she was so cute.

Suddenly, the two felt a bit awkward and Usagi cleared her throat. Mamoru coughed.

"Well, I, uh… *cough* better get home before my mom kills me," Usagi said quickly, laughing nervously.

"Yeah, I have to get home and study." They stared at each other a minute longer.

"Want me to walk you home?" Mamoru finally built up courage to ask. Usagi was taken aback by the question, but didn't show it. Instead, she nodded her head and walked up to him, the two now walking past the arcade and toward the Tsukino residence.

**************************************************************************

*END* of Ch. 4. Well, what shit is going to go down at the Tsukino residence, hmm?? The end part just sort of wrote itself. It wasn't meant to be put into this chapter, but it seems to fit. Don't you agree?

I'll leave you all to your imaginations and begin chapter 5 now. I'm excited to get this story out there and published onto !!
